Douay-Rheims Version (DR) – This was the standard Bible for English-speaking Catholics from 1609 until the twentieth century.It tones down some of the more formal “thees/thous,” which some people find off-putting, however it also contains gender-inclusive language, changing “brothers” to either “friends” or “brothers and sisters.” The vertical language is fine, as God is never referred to with feminine or gender-neutral pronouns, but the horizontal language has been adjusted so if that bothers you, you might want a different translation.( New Revised Standard Version (NRSV-CE) – This is a solid, very readable translation and the first one I usually recommend to people new to the Bible.But if you want to sync your reading to the liturgy, this is your best choice. New American Bible – Revised Edition (NAB-RE) – This is the Bible translation used at Mass, so you’ll read the same phraseology as heard in the liturgy, but it does contain some questionably translated passages and some dubious footnotes.Revised Standard Version – 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) – This is the one I use, and it’s preferred by most Catholic Bible scholars I know. It offers a literal but still very readable translation.All of them have been officially approved by the Catholic Church for personal study: Here are my personal recommendations, in order of preference. But if you’re somewhat mature in your faith, you should seek a more literal (i.e., “word for word”) translation, one that you still find easy to read and understand. Paraphrase translations, such as The Message, helped me tremendously as a young Christian, trying to understand the main contours of the Bible for the first time. Second, you want to make sure your Bible translation strikes a good balance between precision and readability. You’re going to want those books in your Bible (they’re really good!) so get a Catholic Church-approved translation, one that has 73 books, not 66 books, as in most Protestant versions. Protestant translations such as the New International Version (NIV), the English Standard Version (ESV), and the King James Version (KJV) do not contain the seven deuterocanonical books that the Catholic Church accepts as Sacred Scripture.

The sinking scroll must have lifted the spirits of the Israelites in Babylon (Jeremiah 51:64).What consequences are you risking by continuing in sin?
